WINNIPEG – The Manitoba government is out with a list of changes to make transit more accessible.

Families Minister Nahanni Fontaine says organizations offering accessible services have until January 1, 2027 to implement the changes.

Regular transit operators have until January 1, 2042 to upgrade all existing buses to meet the accessible design requirements.
